Rock the Frock

Kate is not only a senior this year she is also my second cousin...
man I feel old (:
We decided to shoot at the shack but man was it windy.
I only got a few shots that worked due to hair in the face
but I love what we got!
She wants to go back when it isn't as windy to do
her senior session there.

Ducks

And these little guys were so scared!
They were running and falling all over the table
they were making me nervous.
But I have to admit I wanted to take one home :)

Chicks

I just love homeschool co-op's and I wanted

to give a big shout out to Lori and thank
her for bringing in her eggs, chick, and ducks for the kids
to see God's creations up close and personal.
The kids got to see the eggs in an incubator
and then they were able to see and touch some
that had already hatched :)

WATERMELON

Daisy

Daisy, my cat, just loves the space heater that we use during the winter
so when I am sitting in the chair she usually
jumps up and sits on my lap to be by the heater.
I had my camera laying beside the chair and decided to snap a few.

Corinna

Corinna and I decided to head out to look at different locations

for shooting around LaPorte, IN.
It was pretty cold out, still hovering in the upper 30's
so it was shoot then warm up, shoot then warm up.


Corinna is 17 yrs old and is attending LaPorte High School
starting tomorrow..she had previously been homeschooled
last year. Her favorite subject is Art and she loves her camera :)
Corinna says her dream job would be a graphic designer and her
dream vacation would be to go to Jamaica!

Here are some other randoms of Corinna:

*My favorite movie is Star Wars
and tv show is Criminal Minds
*Favorite food is Spaghetti
*I love to shop at Zumiez
*My favorite website is Pandora
and I love VersaEmerge
*Favorite possession is my music note necklace
*I never leave home without my earphones
*I would like to meet Yoda


An unusual talent I have is that I'm extremely flexible
and a random fact about me is that I like to write songs
and I play them.


I chose to have my pictures taken with DGPhotoDesigns because
not only was she my old photography instructor, but she is
my friend and she is good at what she does :)
